" summary

Git is presented as a distributed VCS that runs locally and on hosted services (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit) with branching built in. Workflow: start with git clone or git init, use git pull/fetch to get others’ work, create a branch, use git add to stage, git commit with clear, single‑purpose messages, then git push as a backup. Emphasizes frequent local commits, a branching strategy (suggests GitHub flow), and that merge/pull requests reconcile work across teammates.
